The Republic of Ireland Women's National Team's opening game of FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 against Australia on July 20th has been officially moved to Stadium Australia.

FIFA have confirmed the news that the co-opening game has moved from Sydney Football Stadium to the tournament's largest venue following increased demand from supporters. Sydney Football Stadium has a capacity of 42,500 which quickly sold out and their move to Stadium Australia will see the capacity increase to 83,500 people.

The switch to Stadium Australia will see more tickets being made available on Public Sale via the FIFA Ticketing Portal.

Over half a million tickets have already been sold for this summer's tournament with Ireland ranked ninth amongst the 32 participating nations of ticket purchasers, showing the excitement and support the country has for this team.
